Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 106
In the night, Jingshan County Government Office.

Lu Lianxian walked up and down in the office.

Shouts of "Oops! Oops" came from the yamen room on the side of the county office from time to time.

There are doctors who look like going in and out of it.

"grown ups!"

Lu Zhubo shouted eagerly from the side.

"Damn, if this is in Datong, I...I picked them with one knife, they are all picky things!"

"My lord, don't... don't be impatient. When we came to Jingshan, the master told us many times that we should think twice and not rush. This is not a military camp. The commander has the final say!"

Lu Zhubo persuaded.

Yesterday's Shangyuan Festival was the first large-scale event held by Lu Lianxian since he took office.

For this event, the county government has been busy for a whole month.

I thought that through this event, I could add another stroke to his political achievements, but I didn't expect to encounter the Jili Bridge Rebellion.

Not to mention more than a dozen people were trampled and injured, and the whereabouts of seven women are still unknown.

Some of these women are the daughters of ordinary people, and some are the daughters of officials from the state government.

These days, there are many small hosts in the temple, and there are big brothers everywhere!
Those people went straight to the county government office and asked for help.

Their own daughter is not optimistic, but they are ashamed to ask themselves for someone!

"My lord, Tian Wu is back!"

A yamen servant shouted outside.

Lu Lianxian stopped in his tracks, looked outside eagerly, and Tian Wu walked in in a hurry.

"grown ups!"

Tian Wu arched his hands and bowed in salute.

"Say, what's the situation now?"

"My lord, we have concluded that the thieves are in that manor. There are footprints on the ground, and there are women's clothes thrown in the corner, as well as women's shoes. Two families have already recognized that the shoes belong to their daughters."

"Okay, since we have evidence, let's call the door now. I want to see why they don't open the door today?"

Lu Lian got up and was about to go out with his big knife.

"grown ups!"

Lu Zhubo immediately shouted.

"Tian Wu, you go out first!"

Lu Zhubo signaled Tian Wu to go out, and went to stop Lu County Magistrate by himself.

"We already have evidence, why can't we catch the thief?"

Lu Lian felt that scholars like Lu Zhubo were really mothers-in-law.

"My lord, don't you forget whose manor is that?"

Lu Zhubo shouted.

"Whose manor is it?"

"Lord Xing!"

"King Xing, even the manor of King Xing can't...can't hide thieves, of course...of course they have to be arrested and brought to justice!"

Lu Lianxian paused for a moment, then spoke firmly.

"Does your lord still think those are thieves? Tian Wu has already reported once before that there are Taoist priests there, and people sneak in through the back door! My lord, just imagine, can thieves enter through the gate of Wangfu Manor?"

Master Lu said in a low voice.

"I don't believe... I don't believe that Prince Xing is that kind of person. Maybe, maybe the evil servants in the family did it on purpose. I arrested him, and I should report to the prince to plead guilty! The prince is a sensible person, and he must..."

"By the way! Tian Wu said that Qin Shao's family members were also robbed. He saw the thief fleeing towards the manor with his own eyes. He quickly asked Qin Shao to come over to testify. I don't believe it. There are physical evidence. The prince... the prince will Cover up... cover up those thieves?"

Lu Lianxian was still a little excited.

Such a big event happened under his rule. If the court knew, all the hard work he had done before would be in vain, and his future would be ruined. How could he not be excited?
Even though King Xing is a vassal king, should he bear the scapegoat unjustly?
"My lord, if it's an evil servant, it's easy to say, but there are Taoists among those people, and those who rob are still unmarried women, and they rob many people. Does the lord think that it's an evil servant who acts on his own?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Lianxian didn't know why.

"My lord, do you remember the red lead pill that my lord said?"

"Red lead pills? You mean a elixir made from a woman's sunflower...water? It's highly praised by the nobles..."

In today's Ming Dynasty, not to mention the nobles of the royal family, it is a common practice for scholar-bureaucrats to take pills.

"Yes, my lord, there are Taoist priests, and the ones who robbed were still unmarried girls. Xingwang's mansion is so respectful of Taoism..."

"Could it be that you said it was King Xing himself?"

Lu Lianxian's eyes widened.

"My subordinates heard that the princess and the crown prince are also very enthusiastic about this."

Lu Zhubo signaled his master to keep his voice low.

"Wangfei is a woman. Didn't you say that the elixir that invigorates the kidneys and strengthens the body is a toon... medicine?"

"It does have the effect of strengthening the affairs of the house, but it is said that it can also cure five tuberculosis, seven injuries, exhaustion, and weakness. Long-term use is said to be able to gather yin and nourish yang, and prolong life. As we all know, the son of Xing Wang gave birth to a healthy body. Weak, the princess and the prince are very worried..."

Lu Zhubo said.

The conditions for refining this kind of elixir are extremely harsh, beyond the capabilities of ordinary dignitaries.

"Could it be that the prince acquiesced?"

Lu Lianxian was a little uncertain.

"Fart! They are too busy and lack of physical training. I don't eat any pills, just whole grains and meat, seven times a night! Those grandchildren just eat too much and have nothing to do! The moth of the country! Worms!"

"Don't be angry, my lord. It's useless to be angry. The current plan is to find a solution!"

Lu Zhubo hastily persuaded.

"Then how do you solve it? Knowing that those women are in Xingwang's other courtyard, we can't force our way in. Those missing women are always waiting to question me, and there are official women, what do you ask me to do?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Someone has reported it to the state government. Lord Fang will definitely know the news. Let's see how he makes a decision!"

"That old boy is not slippery, he is the man of King Xing, how could he stand on my side, and this is what happened in Jingshan, then he will only hold me accountable and take off the responsibility himself, this is the scapegoat I am determined!"

Lu Lianxian was a little downcast.

"Don't worry, young master. I thought it was a good idea when you said to invite Qin Shao over earlier! He has contacts with Prince Xing's mansion, and his subordinates personally saw Zhu Chen from the Department of Etiquette and Guards come to his house to give gifts; Qin Shao pointed it out, but it depends on the attitude of Xing Wangfu!"

"Besides, I have had people secretly disclose to the two state officials that the thief robbed people to Xingwang's other courtyard. They naturally understand the twists and turns. If they want to find their daughter, they will naturally go to that direction. Let's wait with..."

Lu Zhubo looked at the distressed Lu county magistrate, and couldn't help calling out the previous address in his hometown.

"Father-in-law chose you by my side really foresight, Zhishan, I still need your help, I can fight with my life in battle, but in this officialdom, I'm blind!"

Lu Lianxian couldn't help sighing.

"My lord praises me, my lord is a real man, and I have learned a lot from my lord these years. You are talented and intelligent, but you have little contact with officialdom. In time, you will be like a fish in water! Those women will be fine for the time being. At most, they will be trained. , I have sent yamen servants to squat nearby, my lord, let’s go to rest, and we will make a fuss at dawn.”

"Then Qin Shao really has close contacts with Prince Xing's Mansion?"

"There is a relationship. Wasn't King Xing at the Xuanmiao Temple before? Mr. Qin went there a lot before, and the subordinates didn't see him meet King Xing, but they are sure that the two families have contacts."

"Tomorrow, ask Tian Wu to call that kid over. That kid is really similar to King Xing. Ever since I met King Xing, I see that kid is a little timid! If you don't know... By the way, do you think that kid will It's King Xing outside..."

"It's just that Qin Shao came from Xiangyang Laohekou, how did the prince get there, and his subordinates looked through the county records a few days ago, but found that Qin Wenbin was named Qin Mingyuan when he came to Jingshan several years ago, and changed his name later. "

"Never mind! Headache, this Qin Shao is not easy, since he is connected with Xing Wang's mansion, tomorrow I will go to the other courtyard of Wang's mansion to testify and take him with me!"

Lu Lianxian was very irritable.

"Yes!"

……

"Are you sure those people went to the hot spring courtyard?"

Yuan Zonggao looked solemn.

"Master Fang's servant sent a letter, saying that someone saw those people going to the hot spring courtyard, and found clothes and shoes around the courtyard. Master Fang said that there are two official women, and they have a slight relationship in Shangjing. "Furthermore, Lu Lianxian has a bad temper, so he definitely won't take the blame, he can't cover up this matter, and he is worried about the prince's health, so he dare not report it directly, so I want to ask Chang Shi to pay attention first."

"In addition, someone from the Department of Etiquette and Guards said that they saw Eunuch Changsheng next to You Shizi who answered the door."

Zhu Chen replied.

"Bullshit!"

Yuan Zonggao was furious.

Fortunately, the prince is in the Xuanmiao Temple. He has been doing better recently. If he knows about this...

"Chang Shi, do you want to inform the prince?"

Zhu Chen asked uncertainly.

Even though they are the guards of the prince, they are only the body of the prince...

The matter was too much trouble, and he really had no choice, so he directly asked Yuan Changshi for advice.

"Whose idea?"

"The Taoist priest Shao Yuanjie from the previous year! I don't know if the concubine acquiesces, but that person took the lead, and the prince is also in the other courtyard."

"Shameless evil ways!"

Yuan Zonggao gritted his teeth, he had long been displeased with that old Taoist, since that person came to promote the palace, all kinds of things happened one after another.

Some time ago, the prince imprisoned those people, and he wanted to get rid of those people, so as not to cause trouble to the prince.

Only the son suddenly fell ill, and Zhou's doctor's treatment was ineffective. The prince had no choice but to listen to the princess's request to ask those Taoist priests to help heal the son.

The prince recovered quickly. Yuan Zonggao suspected that there was something tricky at the time, but he couldn't catch them.

I don't want them to turn around and feel that even the prince will compromise if they are so close to the big tree of Shizi, and they become even more arrogant.

"Chang Shi, give me a quick note. I'm worried that after dawn, Lu Lianxian's people will search the mansion, but the prince knows..."

Zhu Chen said anxiously.

"Follow me to see the princess!"
